Why do I read the Bible?
Life is full of all choices and decisions! How do we know which are the correct ones to make?
The Bible is a book first and foremost about God - it begins with God and ends with God and the bits in between are all to do with God's dealings with mankind!
The Bible is also like a manual - how we should live our lives to have a close relationship with God (after accepting Him)
If we add to the Bible or take away from it then it's like buying a microwave oven, looking at the instructions and adding bits from your fridge manual or taking bits away which you don't like! Will the appliance work properly if you do that? Of course not, so it is with Scripture. We work properly (how God intended for us to live) if we follow His word, after asking Him to come into our lives!
